MFH-Alarian Mod v2.900 - New releases here!

[death_au]

Somewhere between 2.907 and 2.909 I've lost loading phrases... They just don't show up.
The "Browsing Collection" one shows up fine, and so do results phrases... but no loading phrases...

Also, in the Theme.ini you can specify fret colours for tails (if they're not defined in the tails directory) and 3D notes/keys. I'm currently rewriting the ThemeINI Instructions.txt to make it more organised and easier to read, and I'll include this info. You guys can let me know what you think of it when I upload it :;):

EDIT: Here's my new "themeINI Instructions.txt". Let me know if I've made mistakes or left something out.

Hi, I have a quick question (maybe a request?).

First off I love the mod, its one of the best I've found...

but I keep having the same problem with any mod for FoF that I use. The "tapable" notes system is always screwy and messes up my songs (especially Freebird). However these always work fine in the original FoF releases.

Is there anyway that I can set it so that I can still use this wonderful mod, and yet have the "tapable" notes system from the original FoF?

(if this has been asked/fixed/done already, I'm sorry)

Cheers,

Sc00t3r

EDIT: Ive tried all the systems that come with the mod, and none of them help.

The original FOF tap notes system is really buggy. The chances of the taps being put in are extremely low, and the closest you can get to it is Fretboard Settings>HOPO System (i think)=GH2 Sloppy + HOPO timing=More.

Are you kidding me? I find that if anything the FoF (the newest release on the main website [Version 1.2.512]) has tons more tap notes.

My main example is Freebird. With the moded version i have to strum most all of the solo.... where as with FoF it play's more like it should be (?).

I dunno, but id like to see it as an option if someone knows how to do it... I never found the offical release to be all that buggy... it only ever just crashed on me while loading songs (once in like 50).

maybe I need to make a video contrasting the two just to let you guys see what I'm talking about?

[sherranjjj001]

if your so worried about HoPos then under fretboard settings change HoPo timing to more. this enables HoPos for 1/8th notes.

yeah, sorry, just tired that now... and it actualy makes the song playable (Freebird).

thanks.

Edit: although this makes other songs have tap notes where they shouldn't be... Why are they tap notes being generated and not part of the song files themselves? seems odd to generate them rather than have them coded in the "fret" files.

Edit:
Maybe I'm getting a tad confused here... but leme ask one question, I never played the origonal GH's much, but arn't the tap notes a regular part of the songs?

Also I looked at the .midi files for a few songs, and it wouldn't seem to hard to hard code the Tap notes, and I can think of a few ways to do it.

but perhaps I'm just way, way off in my thinking?

Out of curiosity, I turned upload scores on (I don't normally upload my scores) and found that I didn't get the invalid literal problem with 2.909.

If you just want a few songs to have more hopo, then add

Code: Select all

eighthnote_hopo = 1

to the song.ini

[sherranjjj001]

thanks omfgdrphl! that saves me alot of trouble.

and death...the constant speed is whats doing it im sure.

[wolferacing]

and death...the constant speed is whats doing it im sure.

I can run constant speed and upload scores fine. Ive been trying to reproduce this issue so I can evaluate it more and try to find a solution but so far I have not got the error.

Also, I have enough new code written for a new hotfix. Expect it here soon.

[sherranjjj001]

wolfe...would you mind copy and pasting your .ini? id like to compare them. and does this fix include the tighter window?

[death_au]

and death...the constant speed is whats doing it im sure.

I changed to constant speed (200) and it worked fine...

[sherranjjj001]

well im not sure what it is...it has to be some sort of option that only a few people are using.

[jrdnxxhero]

I noticed when I had 2 player on, it wouldn't let me upload. When I don't, it does let me upload

[sherranjjj001]

so if your number of players is set to 1 you can upload?

[jrdnxxhero]

so if your number of players is set to 1 you can upload?

yes. If its set to 1 it'll let me upload my scores. if its set to 2, it won't
